Trying to create similar effect - temporal image op??

I came across a photographer's conceptual work on Instagram. I've been thinking of something similar, but different and exploring ideas about the steps necessary to create the repeating and layering for something like this. I can think of how I

Output to a new layer

I find layers confusing.

I want to output an operation to a new layer and then use that layer six or so steps later in the procedure. Can I do this?

Can I create layers on the fly? or do they have to be there already?

recording source context keyframe question

Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing something content-wise.  Building a PASeq with two layers.  The top layer has an alpha channel, the base layer does not.

Paint Fill Setup, Cloners and Layers

I'd love it if there was a contextual layer option to target a specific layer to the Paint Fill Setup in my current preset. I could fly with my cloning/painting using multiple layer variations as a resource for cloning to the top layer in my stack. T

A question about layers and a suggestion

3.5 question

It seems that my layer mods( blends, opacity tweaks) are not being recorded. It works as I create the art work but when I export the PASeq out and import back in, the tweaks between layers do not run. I am trying to have PASeq editor record all my t

Need some insight on painting with multiple layers

I've posted on this previously, but I'm obviously not doing something that I should be. I like to use multiple layers when I'm trying to figure out my paint styles. The blending modes create some pretty cool looking paintings. What I've tried to do

Export layers to PSD

Hi all! I have a simple question: Could I save a multilayered file in Studio Artist as a PSD file and then be able to see and work with the individual layers in Photoshop? Thanks a lot in advance.
